It was another long night,but the air had a new feeling something that could not be easily explained. The garden was damp and dew covered from the rain that had fallen throughout the day and had finally managed to settle as the sun set. The grass swayed gently as the wind blew gently throughout the garden. Angel prepared himself for his night watch as was his habit. The water droplets caused a shiver down Angel's spine as he settled in on his makeshift viewing area. "All is normal tonight" he thought to himself except it was too quite not even the creatures of the night were stirring it seemed. This caused Angel to feel uneasy. The trees in the garden were still and the flowers seemed to drop. Something just wasn't right here. Angel hopped down from his spot above the garden and began looking around for anything out of the ordinary. It wasn't long till he heard the sound of movement coming from the bushes by the entrance to the garden. Angel leaned forward carefully keeping his distance in case it was a bear or something that could destroy the garden or him for that matter. The sound continued for a short while until suddenly he heard a sound it was definitely a fight,but who was fighting who he hurried over to find out and just outside the garden was an emerald coated stallion with a yellow and brown mane, but that was not all there before the pony were three timber-wolves. The stallion bucked at the first timber-wolf as it jumped towards him.
Angered, the next two jumped onto the peagus' back biting and clawing trying to reach his neck. The stallion's blues eyes turned fierce in the struggle for his life. Angel froze he knew he had to do something, but he didn't know what. That very moment a red coated peagus with a golden mane appeared out of nowhere and bucked with all his might at the two timber-wolves on top of the other peagus. The two stallions looked from one another to the wolves as they quickly became surrounded. The wolves attacked and the stallions sent each one off with a buck to their muzzles. Angel began to wonder who these two peagusi were. Angel chose to confront the two of them then and there about who they were cause he had certainly never seen these two before; however when he got there he saw that the two males had left already. He went back to his "watchtower" and wondered for the rest of the night about the two ponies. There was something different about them compared to others.
The next morning Fluttershy woke up earlier than usual so she went for a walk through the quite of her garden. She let the birds sleep a little while longer and even though she loved the sound of all the creatures she also enjoyed the quite of her garden before she had to start her day. Today Fluttershy thought she could go farther outside of her garden today and explore a little. She walked for a few minutes taking a few new side paths until she heard something from the other side of the bushes to her right. Unsure of what it was Fluttershy calls out "who's there?". She did not get an answer just more rustling from the other side of the bush. Being careful not to startle whatever was on the other side of it Fluttershy slowly creeps up and peers through the bush.
On the other side of the bush is a red coated peagus who is standing in the middle of a very small clearing looking at something with high interest and taking some notes down. Fluttershy edged closer and walked up behind the peagus. The peagus unaware of her presence behind him continued working as Fluttershy tried to see what he was looking at. Finally after a while she spoke up. "Ummm excuse me not to bother you or anything, but what are you doing?" The peagus turned to face her and as their eyes met Fluttershy looked into his blue eyes and he back into her eyes she felt something begin to rise in her throat and they both looked away as quickly as possible. The young stallion looked back at his notes. "Oh I was just trying an experiment on how to get vegetables to grow faster and if they may cause any danger to any of the animals around here unfortunately it seemed to affect the seeds of anything I put it on and this little bird here apparently ate some the poor thing." Fluttershy turned to the small bird and carefully picked it up and checked its beak. "Don't worry I'll make you feel better little one." Fluttershy pokes the bird's gut carefully until the seed pops out of the birds mouth. "See all better now little one." The Stallion looked at Fluttershy with disbelief. "H-how did you do that?" Fluttershy smiles at the other peagus. "Only if you tell me your name first." Laughing at not having introducing himself the stallion smiled at her. "My name is Storm Chaser what's your name?" "F-Fluttershy." She began to stumble just to say her name as a large feeling rose in her heart making it feel heavy. He smiled and his eyes seemed to soften. "Fluttershy now that's a beautiful name." Fluttershy blushed softly. "T-thank you, but I hardly deserve it." Storm Chaser smiled. "And what would make you say that?" Fluttershy looked at the ground to avoid looking into his eyes. "Because I am hardly all that special I'm just like any other pony." Lightningchaser looked at her in disbelief. "Well I wouldn't say that. I mean how many ponies can help a bird like that? None that I know of that's for sure." Fluttershy smiles. "Thank you." Lightningchaser smiles back. "Anytime." Fluttershy looks up at the sky and notices the sun raising. "Oh no! I'm late! I'm sorry but I have to go." Lightning Chaser smiles. "Maybe we can talk again some-" She hurries off before he can even finish his sentence. As she left he felt lonely for the first time and a heavy feeling fell over him. He thought to himself "Why do I feel this way? I have met many of other ponies, but this is different there's something about her." Storm Chaser could not get this thought off his mind as he returned to his studies.
Fluttershy hurried back to her garden and had Angel help her wake the animals and get to work. Fluttershy started by waking the birds and squirrels first as they were faster and easier to wake and needed to be up first otherwise the more stubborn ones wouldn't get up. Next she turned to taking care of the garden itself. She went around and watered all the vegetables and fruits that needed the least attention first so she could focus more on the ones that needed her attention more at the end. Fluttershy was so busy she hardly noticed Twilight and Spike coming up behind her until Spike spoke up. "Hey Fluttershy what are you up too?" Fluttershy jumps causing a bit of alarm in her friends. Twilight becoming concerned looks at Spike then back to Fluttershy. "You okay Fluttershy? No offense but you seem a bit jumpy." Fluttershy looks to her friends. "Yeah just a bit tired I guess I woke up earlier today than usual." "Ah" says Spike.Twilight looks from the baby dragon back to her friend. "Well you you need sleep you should rest Spike and I can help with your garden if you need us to. " Fluttershy smiles and shakes her head. "No it's okay I can handle this besides you probably got your own stuff to do. Trust me I'll be fine." Twilight looks at Fluttershy "Well if you say so Fluttershy." Twilight turns and heads back towards Ponyville glancing back at the baby dragon on her back. "Hey Spike?" Spike looks up at Twilight "Yeah Twi?" Twilight thinks for a moment. "never mind I must have been imagining things." Fluttershy yawns. "Maybe I do need a nap and when I'm done here." Fluttershy finishes watering the flowers and heads inside to take a well deserved rest as Angel walks into the room and cuddles up beside her causing Fluttershy to wrap a hoof around him. "Maybe I need some rest too" he thought as he closed his eyes giving in to his need to sleep.

This is my first story so everypony try not to be harsh on me. I may do things a bit differently then most. Please be understanding as I adjust to this.
The Fresh OCs of Ponyville
Rainbow Dash was spending her morning like she always did laying on her cloud of fluffyness taking her typical 9 am nap. The streets below was filled with ponies and none ever bothered her anyway- "Oh Rainbow Dash!" Except for one. "Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie Pie started screaming at her friend to get her attention which only upset Rainbow Dash even more. The ponies around Pinkie continued about their business. They were used to this considering Pinkie Pie did this every single day. Rainbow Dash had finally had enough and came down to Pinkie Pie. "What do you want Pinkie?" Pinkie leaped up and down excitedly. "I heard that some new ponies are coming to Ponyville and I couldn't keep it all to myself now could I? I had to let everypony know." Rainbow Dash looked at her pink friend "well you could have told me some other time Pinkie." The pink pony looked at her peagus friend and smiled. "Come on Rainbow Dash at least come and meet them." Rainbow dash face-hoofs and sighs. "Fine Pinkie but only if you leave me alone afterwards ok?" Pinkie's face lights up and a large smile expands over her face. "Oh no! I forgot to tell the others!"
Pinkie Pie proceeds to break the fourth wall opening a portal to the edge of Ponyville when suddenly the all mighty story writer's hoof comes down from the clouds and hits the ground. Suddenly a voice booms from the sky itself. "PINKIE PIE! THERE IS NO FOURTH WALL BREAKING IN MY STORY! Pinkie Pie looks up at the hoof with sad eyes. 'But but but." The voice boomed again loudly and shook the sky. "NO! MY JUDGEMENT IS FINAL! NOW WALK LIKE EVERY OTHER EARTH PONY!" Pinkie Pie thought for a moment. "Hey can I have some candy then?" The giant hoof pauses for a moment thinking it over. "Alright fine but just this once." Poof a piece of candy appears in her hoof which she eats happily and loudly. The great hoof disappeared into the clouds without another word as quickly as it came. Pinkie Pie looked to Rainbow Dash. "See you later Rainbow Dash!" She hopped off to Fluttershy's house humming to herself. Rainbow Dash looked to the sky blankly. "I don't even want to know anymore." She turns and began to head towards the ponies gathering to meet the new ponies.
Fluttershy was busy in her garden yet again frowning at the stubborn flower in her garden which refused to grow tall and healthy when Pinkie Pie came in through the gate behind her. Fluttershy looks up and turns towards the gate. "Oh hey Pinkie." Pinkie smiles and looks at the flower. "Ooooooo what a pretty flower but why is it down and not up like the rest? Oh well never mind that. Fluttershy did you hear that there are new ponies moving into Ponyville?" Fluttershy looks back to her flowers. "Yeah I heard Twilight told me." Pinkie barely able to hold back her excitement grabs Fluttershy. "Well what are we waiting for then? Let's go!" Pinkie Pie quickly drags Fluttershy to the town square arriving just as Rainbow Dash caught her first look of two ponies she never thought she would see again. Storm Chaser looked to his friend on his right. "This is certainly not what we expected to receive as a welcoming party, but chances are this is more for you then me Sarge." Sarge looked to his friend. "Don't be so down on yourself just because I took part in the war doesn't mean that they aren't excited to meet you too." Storm Chaser looked around. "yeah maybe your right-" he suddenly noticed Fluttershy and his heart skipped several beats as their eyes met. Storm Chaser had met many mares before, but he was certain that this was a new feeling for him. Unfortunately for him Sarge noticed. "You got your eyes on a mare? Now this is going to be inter-" he was cut off by the sound of hoofs approaching them.
Sarge turned from his friend to the pony approaching and was surprised to see Rainbow Dash standing before him. Rainbow Dash smiled her excitement showing through. "Hey Sarge I didn't realize you were back from the war and why are you here in Ponyville? Sarge smiles and explains. "Well Celestia thought that a little time to relax after coming back something to calm the mind and traveling a bit with Storm Chaser might help clear my mind." Rainbow Dash frowns at his words. "So how have you been since flight school?" Sarge smiles and he and Rainbow Dash begin to catch up on their many adventures since the last time they met.
Storm Chaser is trying everything in his power not to stare, but he couldn't tell if it was really her or not. After finally making sure it was he walked up to her. Fluttershy was getting closer and closer to him with each step he took and he became more and more nervous. He knew he had to say something to her, but he didn't know what. He forced himself to calm down just enough so his voice wouldn't change. "Hey Fluttershy." Fluttershy looks up at him then shyly back at the ground. "Oh hey Storm Chaser." Oh sweet Celestia just when he thought he couldn't get more nervous. "So how have you been Fluttershy?" Fluttershy looks up at him. "I'm doing alright how about you?" He shrugs a bit. "Well its a bit overwhelming, but what can you expect when you arrive with a war hero?" Fluttershy smiles "Not much I'd imag-"
Suddenly a pink pony comes crashing into both Storm Chaser and Sarge knocking them both over. "HI! I'M PINKIE PIE WHAT'S YOUR NAMES?!" They looked to each other surprised by the earth pony being so eager. Then Sarge spoke up. "I'm Selfless Guardian but you can call me Sarge and this is Storm Chaser." They couldn't even get in another word before she was dragging them to a tour of Ponyville. "This is City Hall, there's Sugercube couner, Twilight's house, she's my friend you know my best friend since she came here. I mean I have plently of friends but I'm really close with her and there's Carousel Boutique my friend Rarity owns it. She's an amazing designer by the way and-" The two pegasi rush to stop her. "Ok Pinkie Pie was it?" Sarge waited while she nods excitedly. "Thank you for the tour but I have been here before I know my way around so I will be going now."
Storm Chaser was now left alone with the pink pony which only made him uncomfortable. "So Pinkie Pie what do you do here in Ponyville anyway?" Pinkie's face lit up instantly and before he knew what was happening the pink pony was telling him every single thing that has happened in Ponyville. After about 30 minutes the mare finally stopped leaving Storm Chaser in a daze. So let me get this straight you know what every pony is doing at any given moment?" Pinkie nods placing Storm Chaser into a bigger daze than before." So it was nice meeting you and all, but I really should get going the and you know find out where Sarge has gone off to. He heads off to find Sarge in a bit of a hurry so he doesn't get lost too quickly. Pinkie watches him leave and then realizes she has to go help Applejack and her family raise the barn yet again. She hurries off in the direction of Sweet Apple Acres.
